The Spanish Inquisition: A Historical Revision

Rating:
Summary: A Great Summary of the Inquisition
Review: Written by a prominent Jewish author, THE SPANISH INQUISITION is a book that really should be made public, to get across the truths about it. Many people today get most of their information about the Inquisition from Poe's THE PIT AND THE PENDULUM or from some other bad source. This is a book which anyone who wishes to know about Church history or Spanish history should read. If you are looking for an answer to the "Muslim question," or the Inquisition's response to Muslims, this book does not tend to cover that too well. Also, a poor account of St. Vincent Ferrer is given, which can be construed almost as a smear campaign against him. At any rate, a good book worth spending the money and time on.
